Your words may not be lies and you may really mean what you say.<><>
You may want to keep your promises, but I can’t trust you so easily.<><>
I have had my share of lessons in life for being so naive.<><>
I’ve been lied to, too often. <><>My confidence has been shattered so many times before.<><>
I have given too many bad people the benefit of the doubt.<><>
I always ended up being mocked or broken, even when I had the purest intentions.<><>
That’s why I don’t need your empty words, I need consistency.<><>
I stopped believing people’s words so easily. <><>
You are what you do, not what you pretend you are going to do.<><>
So whatever someone promises me, I take it with reserve.<><>
I don’t take it with heart. <>And I behave like this in order to save my broken heart.<><>
That way, if people keep their promises, I can be happy.<><>
Otherwise, at least, I am not disappointed because I expected nothing at the start.<><>
I stopped trusting people so easily.<><>
You may be good, but you may be toxic too.<><>
And I’m no longer ready to play with my heart.<><>
I don’t want to welcome people just because they look good or nice.<><>
That was the old me and the old me had been hurt so many times before.<><>
The old self was too naive and trusted people too easily.<><>
Now that life has given me all of these lessons, I am much smarter.<><>
And so you’ll have to prove to me that you’re good before I can let you in.<><>
I have already been broken. <><>Before, I had no problem putting the pieces together and moving on.<><>
But, unfortunately, I was broken once too often and I am not as strong as before.<><>
I can’t manage toxic people as well as before. <>Now, more than ever, I doubt myself.<><>
I still believe that there must be something wrong with me, that it is me who is doing something wrong that is making people treat me so badly.<><>
It must be me, right?<><>
I am not strong enough to allow another toxic person to take over me.<><>
Even if you are not bad, I cannot take the risk, because I am not sure of succeeding in getting back on my feet if it turns out that you were like everyone else.<><>
I can’t convince myself that it’s not my fault, I couldn’t tell myself that I’m not the one who makes people mean, I couldn’t convince myself that people are what they are are and that it never really depends on me.<><>
It is my duty to protect my heart.<><>
If you are worthy of it, you will prove it to me. <><>You will show me that I can trust you.<><>
It will turn out that you are good in time. <>I won’t need to risk my mental health with you.<><>
And if you really are a good guy, you will try to understand.<><>
You will try to put yourself in my place and understand why I am as I am.<><>
You will see how this sensitive and caring girl turned into a closed and reserved girl.<><>
Ask me anything and I’ll tell you, but don’t expect me to trust you, just because it’s you.<><>
When you ask me to trust you, you will see a dose of doubt in my eyes.<><>
It will not be easy to get rid of this doubt because I still have my past clinging to me.<><>
I still remember the people who used me, who lied to me and who made fun of me, they are always somewhere in my head.<><>
And even if you don’t deserve it, all doubts come to me like waves reminding me not to trust you.<><>
Do you think I like being broken? <><>
Do you think I like being so hard on you? <>I can not help it.<><>
We can fix it, and even if it won’t be easy, if you put enough effort into it, if you prove to me that you are good, I promise you, it will be worth it. <><>
Please don’t become like everyone else. <><>
Do not be like those I have had the opportunity to meet in my life before you.<><>
Prove to me that you are worthy of my love and my trust.<><>
Show me that I can count on you.<><>
Prove to me that you will not go anywhere and that you will not leave me broken.<><>
I need consistency, I need to see your efforts, your love, your kindness and your attention.<><>
You can convince me to trust you, but not by words, never by words.<><>
I don’t need an apology, or another promise that things will be different next time, because it would kill me.<><>
Do not tell me that you are different, show me that it is so.<><>
Your words may not be lies and you may really mean what you say.<><>
You may want to keep your promises, but I can’t trust you so easily.<><>
